Flowers is really bad at throwing the ball

What is happening to our defense?

 

[sturg33]

Defense has been dreadful. A sure out ends in a man on second

 

[Garmel]

Two chances to get Marte and we screw it up. Unbelievable.

Missing KEMvP

I know that throw was wide but Freddie usually comes up with that. He did the same thing on the throw from Adonis yesterday.

Took his eye off of it is all I can think.

 

[nsacpi]

nice play by swanson

What a play by Dansby.

 

[sturg33]

Looked like Dansby did a little showmanship on that diving catch... maybe he is more like Jeter than we thought

 

[Enscheff]

Simpson with his daily display of a complete lack of understanding of baseball. He can't quite wrap his head around why Marte was credited with a CS...doesn't see how it's the same as a hitter being 0-1 when getting on base via error.

Freeman error costs us a run... inning not over.

But remember kids, defense doesn't matter

What the hell is wrong with diving AFTER you make a catch??

I'm a bit surprised with the ruling... seems like it would fall under the "you can't assume a double play" type of rule.

 

[sturg33]

Freeman error costs two runs. Man on second

 

[striker42]

The crazy thing is we're seeing sloppy, poor fundamental play from guys who are usually solid defenders.

It's weird bc we finished so strong to end 2016

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

What a disaster. 1B defense is supposed to be invisible

 

[Enscheff]

Flowers should have fielded that throw behind the plate to avoid the short hop haha

I actually moderately agree. Don't change what you did for 10 years based on one play.
